How Pastoral Are Pastoral Landscapes? Scavenger Assemblage Structure in Human‐Dominated Landscapes: A Case Study From Mediterranean Pastures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
An in situ field experiment accompanied by camera trapping has shown how pastoralism as a land use affects carrion preferences and species interactions among facultative scavengers. ABSTRACT Pastoralism is one of the most common land uses worldwide and has been a fundamental part of Mediterranean ecosystems for thousands of years.

Parturition Synchrony Index: A Method for Assessing Individual Parturition Synchrony Within a Group or Population

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We developed a novel parturition synchrony index (PSI) to quantify the degree of parturition synchrony for an individual mother within a group (or population). We evaluated the robustness of the PSI by simulating parturition synchrony at the individual level under a range of scenarios.

Partial migration in roe deer

open access: yes, 2011
We studied partial migrations in the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), a species particularly suited for such a study, due to a wide distribution range and a high level of ecological plasticity and adaptation to human-induced environmental changes. We undertook a comparative analysis of a set of representative and contrasting European ecosystems

Does Temporary Baiting Affect White‐Tailed Deer Space Use and Movement? New Insights Leveraging Subhourly Location Data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We evaluated the impact of presence and removal of bait (i.e., shelled corn) on range size (ha), range overlap (proportion, 0–1), distance of activity centers to bait sites (m), and distance traveled (m/15‐min) by deer in central Texas from 2012 to 2013.

Microtopography and land management drive the spatial and population structures of a Mediterranean keystone species

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Environmental and human factors shape the distribution and habitat of Mediterranean woody plants, influencing their population structure and conservation. The Iberian wild pear (Pyrus bourgaeana), a keystone fleshy‐fruited species supporting wildlife during resource‐scarce periods, is one such example.
